Unfortunately not. The .desktop files are correct on my system, and they along with the executables are in the correct place.
One of the posts tries to explain that menudrake is responsible for what happens. When I tried to use the fix as outlined I had even worse outcome than the problem I was trying to fix...now I have no KDE control centre, nothing in the K menu, I cannot configure my desktop, none of the KDE system icons on the desktop work unless they are ones I installed as direct links to the apps, none of the icons on kicker will launch because the menu desktop entries cannot be found...the list goes on and my blood pressure up...
This whole thing apparently (now I remember it) stems from me clicking 'yes' to the option of installing a KDE/Gnome menu entry when I installed a game the other day...thats when I lost the screensavers...and didn't get a menu entry for the game either. To think such a simple action can lead to this makes me think that Mandrake and KDE seriously need to look at the way consistent menus are created, because thats why the .desktop system was created...to create uniformity of menus across different window managers...a complete mess AFAIC...
Kind regards,
